Back to episode — Episode 22 - Trump’s Personal Attorney’s Office Raided

Well, I thought it was going to be a quiet news day but it's not looking like that now. Have you all seen the news? According to the New York Times, federal agents have raided the office of Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.

What do you think of that? Let me give you my opinion at this point, and this is just my opinion as a citizen of the country. At this point, and at no point before this, but at this point, President Trump has my full support to fire everybody he can fire. People who just have names that sound like these. He can fire Sessions, he can fire Rosenstein, he can fire all of them. Now he has my full support. Fire everybody you need to and I am totally on board.

And by the way, I don't want to know. I don't care what the charges are. I don't care what they find at President Trump's personal lawyer's place. Period. Game over.

And now I don't know if the president will fire anybody but now it's a free pass. It's a free punch. You know that I'm completely on board with the firing now. Fire 'em all.

And I wouldn't have said any of that literally ten minutes ago. Ten minutes ago I would have said firing these guys would be the worst thing that ever happened. It would be the dumbest idea. And now, fire 'em all, I'm on board.

So I would love to see a poll that gives me a flash opinion. In your opinion, can the president just fire everybody now? Does anybody disagree with that at this point? Is there anybody who thinks that it would be prudent for him not to fire them at this point?

This is the most agreement I've ever seen on any question I've ever asked on Periscope. Is there even one person who thinks these people need to keep their jobs?

Well, if you missed the first minute, we're talking about the New York Times reporting that federal agents have raided the office of Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, which gives them access to all of the private communications that relate to Stormy Daniels and the president and the hush money payment and whatever else they might find in the personal communications. That is a line. Sir, you…
